Las Palmas close to sign PSG striker

Las Palmas are close to sealing a deal for PSG forward Jese Rodriguez, the Spanish club’s president has said.

Jese has struggled to tie down a first-team berth at PSG since joining from Real Madrid in a reported £20m deal last summer, and the French champions have given him the green light to go out on loan during the January transfer window.

Milan, Liverpool and Middlesbrough were among the sides touted as a possible destination for the 23-year-old, but it looks as though the Canary Islander is on his way to his home-town club.
